    Bighorn River Fishing Report
    Last Updated: 2/9/2012

    Current Report
    Winter river releases remain steady at 3,130cfs. Take your pick, Dries, Nymphs and Streamers are all working. Stripping streamers has been the most productive with nymph fishing and dries coming in second and third. Lots of fish of all sizes. If this report seems like it hasn't changed the conditions have been the same for quite awhile. Fishing is literally GREAT!!!

    Special Report
    Some Baetis and Midges hatches.

    One-Week Fishing Forecast
    Forecasts are for cooler weather by Friday with highs only in the 20's until Sunday with highs in the 30's. Good chance of some snow on Friday and early Saturday.

    Hot Fly Patterns
    Streamers in brown and yellow, or black and olive are picking up lots of fish. Buggers in sizes 4-8 or Sex Dungeons or Circus Peanuts in size 4. On overcast days expects strikes on nearly every decent cast! For nymphing, a tan or gray Firebead Ray Charles or scud pattern dropped below a tan worm, or a worm with a RootBeer midge, black quill or LBF is a good way to go. For dries just use BWO's or Cluster Midges in 18-24.

    River Flows
    3,130cfs

    Water Temperature
    44 degrees at Three Mile
